BoxingScene.com has been advised that an agreement was reached "in principle" for WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs) to defend his title against former three division champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-7-1, 39KOs) on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Alvarez-Mosley will be the co-feature bout to the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Miguel Cotto pay-per-view.

BoxingScene reported earlier that former champion Winky Wright was likely to appear on the Mayweather-Cotto card, returning from a two-year layoff to face undefeated middleweight Peter Quillin.
